From efecb8966520f1782501f8f5f05c89fde0c19deb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Riccardo Schirone Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2019 14:29:09 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Refuse dbus message paths longer than BUS_PATH_SIZE_MAX limit. Even though the dbus specification does not enforce any length limit on the path of a dbus message, having to analyze too long strings in PID1 may be time-consuming and it may have security impacts. In any case, the limit is set so high that real-life applications should not have a problem with it.
